There are times when work unexpectedly gives you the gift of a vacation, and that’s exactly what happened to me. Our department was tasked to host a company event by the beach, but my role was light—I only had to manage the transportation to and from the venue. With little stress on my plate, I saw it as the perfect chance to relax, recharge, and treat the whole thing like a much-needed quick getaway.
The moment I woke up the morning of the next day, I was greeted by the warm glow of the sun peeking through the curtains and the stunning sight of the sea just outside my window. It felt like nature itself was welcoming me to slow down and savor the day. There’s just something about waking up near the beach—the calm sound of waves, the salty air, and the sense of peace it brings.
After a few minutes of soaking in the view, I quickly got myself ready and headed straight to the breakfast buffet. I’ve always believed that breakfast sets the tone for the day, and this one did not disappoint. From warm breads to savory dishes, everything tasted amazing. The highlight for me was the creamy yogurt, which I enjoyed so much that I grabbed an extra cup to save as my snack later.
The rest of the day was a mix of relaxation and simple joys. Since I wasn’t really tied to the event’s schedule, I had the freedom to enjoy the beach at my own pace. Whether it was walking along the shore, listening to music, or simply lounging under the sun, it felt refreshing to have time that was entirely mine.
What made this quick getaway special wasn’t just the location, but the reminder that sometimes, even amidst work obligations, there’s space to breathe and enjoy life’s little pleasures. This beach trip may have been unplanned, but it gave me exactly what I needed—a pause, a reset, and a pocket of peace.
That's it for today's blog. See you in my next one!
Sending some love and light
With love, Jane
